Faithfulness
Table of Contents
Steady use of what God entrusted - time, gifts, opportunities - not one heroic week mistaken for proof you earned heaven (Galatians 5:22).
Key Concept
Fruits of the Spirit names faithfulness beside gentleness - reliable follow-through because the Spirit sustains the walk, not because merit bought your seat.
Faithful Steward is the garden echo: well done for faithful use over quiet Tuesdays, not burying what He gave or performing for applause. Follow-Through is the workplace mirror - recap, owners, dates after you said yes. Eternal Rewards names what steady faithfulness may receive; Free Grace keeps it from becoming the entry fee.
Examples
- One mission trip in my head as my whole eternal report card - faithfulness fruit is steady use over years, including Tuesdays nobody clapped for.
- I organized snacks for my kid's team and wanted credit all week - the master reviews faithful use, not buried gifts or performance.
